     2            
(2*x)  - 1 = x - 2
$$\left(2 x\right)^{2} - 1 = x - 2$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$\left(2 x\right)^{2} - 1 = x - 2$$
to
$$\left(2 - x\right) + \left(\left(2 x\right)^{2} - 1\right) = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(2 - x\right) + \left(\left(2 x\right)^{2} - 1\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$4 x^{2} - x + 1 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 4$$
$$b = -1$$
$$c = 1$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-1)^2 - 4 * (4) * (1) = -15

Because D<0, then the equation
has no real roots,
but complex roots is exists.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{15} i}{8}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{1}{8} - \frac{\sqrt{15} i}{8}$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$\left(2 x\right)^{2} - 1 = x - 2$$
of
$$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$x^{2} + \frac{b x}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$x^{2} - \frac{x}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 0$$
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = - \frac{1}{4}$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = \frac{1}{4}$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{1}{4}$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = \frac{1}{4}$$
